A delightfully creative episode. I love the use of stop motion here.
The revelation about Animal's past is surprising and poignant. Few Muppets have really backstories like this, and if they did it's not in the same continuity. This one, particularly by the light of a campfire under a starry sky, recalls Gonzo's in 'Muppets from Space'. The eloquence of the tiny Animal reminds me of Gary's dream self in the 'SpongeBob' episode 'Sleepy Time'.
The title of this review alludes to 'Cowboy Bebop', and I'm surprised it wasn't intentional.
The use of 'Spirit in the Sky' in Lips' vision recalls Guy's heat-induced hallucination in 'Green Eggs and Ham', which also happens in a desert.
